• I'm afraid that that QPQ does not count, as a previous full review had already been conducted.--Launchballer 21:31, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Oh, okay. I'll review another in a few days. @Launchballer:, I hope this one counts? X (talk) 21:38, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

• Cited:
• Interesting:
• Other problems: - The hook only appears in the lead and not in the body of the article - I think this needs to be changed, per WP:LEDE

Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
Freely licensed: Used in article: Clear at 100px:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: A really interesting person to read about! I think we would need to use ALT 0a, which better reflects the claims of the sources. The only query is on the hook not appearing in the body of the article. If you can add it somewhere appropriate, this is good to go.  Mystery Merrivale  (talk) 10:09, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

@Mystery Merrivale: Done. Yes, let's go with ALT0a. X (talk) 11:10, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

@X: That's great, ready to go with ALT0a.  Mystery Merrivale  (talk) 14:45, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Considered to be the first, sounds unsure but does reflect the uncertainty in the Time magazine source. Is there a possible hook that doesn't include "first"?

@Mystery Merrivale and Xoak: In light of recent brouhahas above "first" hooks, and especially considering the uncertainty of the source, I don't intend to promote either of the hooks, and as this has remained unpromoted for a month I suspect other promoters share my opinion. I would suggest devising a completely new hook. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:20, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

• @AirshipJungleman29, Mystery Merrivale, and Xoak: Trying out some suggestions:

• ALT1 ... that during a celebration of her 50 years as a harpist, Maud Morgan (pictured) was crowned with silver hair and seated on a golden harp?

Warner's bust of Morgan, 1880.

• ALT2 ... that a bust of harpist Maud Morgan (pictured) is one of Olin Levi Warner's most celebrated works?

ALT2 of course would require the bust's picture to work, but that shouldn't be an issue since the image is licensed under CC0. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:29, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
